Begin by preparing the ground tuna and mixing it with the Kara coconut milk. To achieve a medium thickness, dilute the coconut milk with water until you reach a total volume of 250 ml. Stir thoroughly until well combined.

Next, add the optional salt, sugar, pepper, chopped green onion, and minced red onion into the mixture. Stir again until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Incorporate the egg into the mixture and mix until fully combined.
-
Gradually add the sago/tapioca flour, a little at a time, while stirring. A spatula works well for this step to ensure an even mixture.
-
Heat oil in a frying pan. Use an oiled spoon to shape the mixture into small balls or patties. If preferred, you can also use your hands for shaping.
-
Fry the pempek until they float to the surface and become golden and puffy. Once done, remove from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
-
Serve the pempek warm and enjoy! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out for clarification. 💕
